Description
A method for the calculation of synthetic FLAIR images based on quantitative T1 and T2 maps is described. It includes the suppression of (1) partial volume (PV) artefacts from CSF and (2) false positives arising from motion artefacts in the T2 map. Synthetic FLAIR images were compared to conventionally acquired FLAIR modalities.
The proposed method may help to shorten quantitative (q)MRI based protocols and stresses the general potential of qMRI which allows the calculation of differently weighted images from one qMRI data set.
